One cursor-up history per session

[norpol]

I'm often working on multiple terminal windows in parallel, would it be possible to have separate sessions while I'm still working on each window?

This means when I'm pushing cursor up in one session, I'm not presented with the most recent commands but the most recent commands in this very window.

The interactive search currently has support for single-session search, but I don't think there's currently a way to force it on launch. We could have a --session flag or ATUIN_SEARCH=SESSION env to configure it I guess

[norpol]

Using export ATUIN_NOBIND="true" works for me as a workaround for now. Cursor up will only show me most recent from this session and then later the most recent until the point of opening the shell.

export ATUIN_NOBIND="true"
eval "$(atuin init zsh)"

After reading the docs I think setting the filter_mode option to session would at least allow you to always start in that mode: https://github.com/ellie/atuin/blob/main/docs/config.md#filter_mode

For me it would make sense if using the up key always starts in that mode, and Ctrl+r would always start in whatever is configured in the configuration. (Or if it would be possible to configure the filter_mode for the up key separately.)

I agree with this. I've been planning on adding a flag to the interactive search CLI to specify the filter_mode which would let me specify this in my own config, basically what Conrad suggests above although I would write it as --filter-mode and take an argument. I'm not sure if most users want that though, so I'd hesitate to put it into the default init scripts.

For now I actually just disable the up key binding and use my normal shell history, since that is more intuitive for me.

I did the same

Is this now fixed by #635? I think setting filter_mode_shell_up_key_binding = "session" in config should get this behaviour.

It is! Thanks for prompting 🙏
